[settings] Add "unixtime" builtin setting to expose the current time
Expose the current wall-clock time (in seconds since the Epoch), since
this is often useful in captured boot logs and can also be useful when
checking unexpected X.509 certificate validation failures.
Use a :uint32 setting to avoid Y2K38 rollover, thereby ensuring that
this will eventually be somebody else's problem.

[int13] Test correct return status from INT 13 calls
INT 13 calls return a status value via %ah, with CF set if %ah is
non-zero (indicating an error). Our wrappers zero the whole of %ax if
CF is clear, to allow C code (which has no easy access to CF) to
simply test for a non-zero status to detect an error.
The current code assigns the returned status to a uint8_t, effectively
testing %al rather than %ah. Fix by treating the returned status as a
uint16_t instead.

[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count MSR
When running on AMD platforms, the legacy hardware emulation is
extremely unreliable. In particular, the IRQ0 timer interrupt is
likely to simply stop working, resulting in a total failure of any
code that relies on timers (such as DHCP retransmission attempts).
Work around this by using the 10MHz time counter provided by Hyper-V
via an MSR. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,hv_time".)

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

[netdevice] Limit MTU by hardware maximum frame length
Separate out the concept of "hardware maximum supported frame length"
and "configured link MTU", and limit the latter according to the
former.
In networks where the DHCP-supplied link MTU is inconsistent with the
hardware or driver capabilities (e.g. a network using jumbo frames),
this will result in iPXE advertising a TCP MSS consistent with a size
that can actually be received.
Note that the term "MTU" is typically used to refer to the maximum
length excluding the link-layer headers; we adopt this usage.

[interface] Unplug interface before calling intf_close() in intf_shutdown()
The call to intf_close() may result in the original interface being
reopened. For example: when reading the capacity of a 2TB+ disk via
iSCSI, the SCSI layer will respond to the intf_close() from the READ
CAPACITY (10) command by immediately issuing a READ CAPACITY (16)
command. The iSCSI layer happens to reuse the same interface for the
new command (since it allows only a single concurrent command).
Currently, intf_shutdown() unplugs the interface after the call to
intf_close() returns. In the above scenario, this results in
unplugging the just-reopened interface.
Fix by transferring the interface destination (and its reference) to a
temporary interface, and so effectively performing the unplug before
making the call to intf_close().

[efi] Fix building elf2efi.c when -fpic is enabled by default
The x86_64 EDK2 headers include a #pragma to mark all subsequent
symbol declarations and references as hidden if position-independent
code is being generated. Since libgen.h is currently included only
after the EDK2 headers, this results in __xpg_basename() being
erroneously marked as having hidden visibility (if the compiler
defaults to building position-independent code); this eventually
results in a failure to link the elf2efi binary.
Fix by including libgen.h prior to including the EDK2 headers.

[efi] Work around temporal anomaly encountered during ExitBootServices()
EFI provides no clean way for device drivers to shut down in
preparation for handover to a booted operating system. The platform
firmware simply doesn't bother to call the drivers' Stop() methods.
Instead, drivers must register an EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event
to be signalled when ExitBootServices() is called, and clean up
without any reference to the EFI driver model.
Unfortunately, all timers silently stop working when ExitBootServices()
is called. Even more unfortunately, and for no discernible reason,
this happens before any EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES events are
signalled. The net effect of this entertaining design choice is that
any timeout loops on the shutdown path (e.g. for gracefully closing
outstanding TCP connections) may wait indefinitely.
There is no way to report failure from currticks(), since the API
lazily assumes that the host system continues to travel through time
in the usual direction. Work around EFI's violation of this
assumption by falling back to a simple free-running monotonic counter.

[undi] Try matching UNDI ROMs in BIOS enumeration order
When searching for an UNDI ROM to match against a PCI device, search
in order of increasing ROM address (within the 128kB BIOS option ROM
area). This is likely (though not guaranteed) to match the order of
the original enumeration performed by the BIOS, which is in turn
likely to match the order of enumeration on the PCI bus.
Since we load at most one UNDI ROM, the net result is that we increase
our chances of loading the ROM corresponding to the selected PCI
device (rather than loading a ROM corresponding to a higher-numbered
PCI device with the same vendor and device IDs.)

The "progress" macro can be used only from within the .prefix section.
At the point of calling relocate(), we are running in .text16 and so
the near call to print_message() will end up calling a random function
somewhere in .text16.
Interestingly, this problem has remained unnoticed for some time. It
is rare to build with DEBUG=libprefix. In the few cases that it has
been used during development, the randomly selected function in
.text16 seems to have been a harmless no-op with no visible
side-effects (beyond the unnoticed failure to print the "relocate"
progress message).
Fix by removing the futile attempt to print a progress message before
calling relocate().

[romprefix] Avoid using PMM-allocated memory in UNDI loader entry point
The UNDI loader entry point is very likely to be called after POST,
when there is a high chance that the PMM-allocated image source area
and decompression area have been reused by something else.
In particular, using an iPXE .iso to test a separate iPXE ROM's UNDI
loader entry point in a qemu VM is likely to crash. SeaBIOS allocates
PMM blocks from close to the top of memory and so these blocks have a
high chance of colliding with the runtime addresses subsequently
chosen by the non-ROM iPXE by scanning the INT 15,e820 memory map.
The standard romprefix.S has no choice about relying on the
PMM-allocated image source area, since it has no other way to retrieve
its compressed payload.
In mromprefix.S, the image source area functions only as an optional
buffer used to avoid repeated reads from the (potentially slow)
expansion ROM BAR by the decompression code. We can therefore always
set %esi=0 when calling install_prealloc from the UNDI loader entry
point, and simply fall back to reading directly from the expansion ROM
BAR.
We can always set %edi=0 when calling install_prealloc from the UNDI
loader entry point. This will behave as though the decompression area
PMM allocation failed, and will therefore use INT 15,88 to find a
temporary decompression area somewhere close to 64MB. This is by no
means guaranteed to be safe from collisions, but it's probably safer
on balance than the PMM-allocated address.

[librm] Conditionalize the workaround for the Tivoli VMM's SSE garbling
Commit 71560d1 ("[librm] Preserve FPU, MMX and SSE state across calls
to virt_call()") added FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions to iPXE. In
KVM virtual machines, these instructions execute fine as long as the
host CPU supports the "unrestricted_guest" feature (that is, it can
virtualize big real mode natively). On older host CPUs however, KVM
has to emulate big real mode, and it currently doesn't implement
FXSAVE emulation.
Upstream QEMU rebuilt iPXE at commit 0418631 ("[thunderx] Fix
compilation with older versions of gcc") which is a descendant of
commit 71560d1 (see above).
This was done in QEMU commit ffdc5a2 ("ipxe: update submodule from
4e03af8ec to 041863191"). The resultant binaries were bundled with
the QEMU v2.7.0 release; see QEMU commit c52125a ("ipxe: update
prebuilt binaries").
This distributed the iPXE workaround for the Tivoli VMM bug to a
number of KVM users with old host CPUs, causing KVM emulation failures
(guest crashes) for them while netbooting.
Make the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions conditional on a new feature
test macro called TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND. Define the macro by default.
There is prior art for an assembly file including config/general.h:
see arch/x86/prefix/romprefix.S. Also, TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND seems to
be a good fit for the "Obscure configuration options" section in
config/general.h.
